Notes
Description
The story of the College of Santa Fe is a BIG story. Its ancestry traces to 17th-century France, and its history is totally intertwined with the history of the state of New Mexico. Its original founders arrived in 1859, after months of traveling the Atlantic Ocean in wooden ships, then the young land of America by railroad, ox cart, horseback, and on foot. In 1874 it became the first institution of higher learning chartered by the New Mexico Territorial Legislature, and when New Mexico became the 47th of the United States in 1912, more than one-fifth of the drafters of the state's first constitution were among its granduates.
